Research & Development

Prof. Dr. Hakim Yousef El Afif is always adding to engineering & scientific research through his academic life.  Moreover, he has never stopped giving to the academic research after he has achieved his PhD in architecture from Paris university les ecoles des beaux arts which was and still considered one of the pioneer universities in Paris. Prof. Dr. Hakim El Afif   has founded an integrated expert multi-disciplinary team of architects and engineers who are always seeking to follow up with all new technologies, future challenges and needs for each of the projects, community & environment. Our expertise ranges from architecture, electromechanical, fine arts, interiors, environmental design to landscape.
